According to cast members. I just saw his new music video in Virgin the other day and was impressed, but why yet another Idol in GREASE? Hoy me siento tan hermosa tan preciosa que puedo volar y no hay diosa en el mundo que me va a alcanzar

Wow. I always liked him... but... this?! UGH!!! *lol* "TO LOVE ANOTHER PERSON IS TO SEE THE FACE OF GOD"- LES MISERABLES--- "THERE'S A SPECIAL KIND OF PEOPLE KNOWN AS SHOW PEOPLE... WE'RE BORN EVERY NIGHT AT HALF HOUR CALL!"--- CURTAINS

Honestly...are you guys are surprised by another American Idle contestant being cast in this tripe? Really? Surprised? "If I could wish anything ...I'd wish a rep company on New York City. I think it's possible. I'd even summon the challenge to Mayor Bloomberg: Create a company of actors and give them a living wage. Not minimum wage. I'd lay down that gauntlet. I know that people say all the best actors have gone to L.A. for work, but that's bullsh*t. L.A. is the Medicis for today. They subsidize my art. Give an actor an opportunity to grow as an artist, and anyone worth their salt will jump on it." --Elizabeth Marvel

If American Idol existed during the mid 90s, I'm sure the Weisslers would have taken full advantage for the last revival of the show.

Ew. I thought he was awful. I chose, and my world was shaken- So what? The choice may have been mistaken, The choosing was not...

If its this Ace Young...I'm all for it...

Good for Ace! "Everytime you step on that stage it is somebody's first Broadway show and somebody's last Broadway show. Make it count."

As I was reading this thread, I was hoping for a picture. I refuse to watch Idol so I never know who any of these people are. If that is him (above) I too am for it!

Can they add a part where Kenickie has to be naked for when Ace joins the cast? Please?!?!

I voted for him once upon a time! I'm glad to hear he's getting involved in the theatre scene, even if it is in Grease.

I have no clue who he is. And I've watched the show.

I think Tila Tequila or I Love New York should be the next Sandy. "After being in the business for such a long time, I've done everything but rodeo and porno." -Bea Arthur

He can't sing. Pretty, but can't sing.

Oh, God. This is the second time Matthew Saldivar has been replaced by Idols. Right when it was starting to feel real.

At least its a different Idol - for a while, there were all those rumors of Constantine joining the cast. And really, the only role Constantine could easily do would be Kenickie. Then I'd feel REEEEEALLY bad for Matt Saldivar.

I recalled the name, but just couldn't remember his face or voice. Even going back to youtube and refreshing my mind. [believe] "We thought that if we were to close and then reopen before the end of the season, we could be nominated for both Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical." - Jeff Bowen
